REVISIONS

We value a student’s grit and perseverance. Our grades are based on a student’s ability to show effort, growth, and mastery. With that said, if a student is not satisfied with his or her grade on an assessment, he or she may revise it provided that they did the required leg work in advance. In other words, only students who adequately complete classwork and homework are entitled to revise their work.
